Thanks,

You are referring to the following code (I guess that this hack came
from x86)?

#if __BITS_PER_LONG == 64
#define sg_dma_len(sg)		((sg)->dma_length)
#else
#define sg_dma_len(sg)		((sg)->length)
#endif /* 64 bit */

if so, seems that you are right. we could simply have:

#define sg_dma_len(sg)		((sg)->dma_length)

The current users of asm-generic/scatterlist.h are microblaze, s390,
score, sh, and x86.

The first three users don't support DMA so sg_dma_len doesn't matter
for them.

sh and x86_32 use sg->length, x86_64 uses sg->dma_length. However, sh
and x86_32 sets dma_length in dma_map_sg() so they can use
sg->dma_length.

I'll clean up this in the next merge window.
